Islamic terrorism on American Soil

The clash of USA and radical Islamic terrorist organizations have a long history  which can be traced back to the start of cold war. Even though US specially it's intelligence agency CIA is accused of funding and training radical Islamic groups against the Soviets, attacks carried out by them on American soil are by no means less. Aggressive American foreign policy, supporting Israel and conflict of interests regarding oil have always been the factors for escalating tensions between Islam and America.
